Unified Air Traffic Management

The Single European Sky launched by the European Commission was drafted with the following objectives:

- to restructure European airspace as a function of air traffic flows, rather than according to national borders;

- to create additional capacity; and

- to increase the overall efficiency of the traffic management system.

The European Commission’s ATM legislative package of four regulations covers the essential regulatory elements to be developed in order to achieve a seamless European Air Traffic Management System. They are:

1. A Framework for the Creation of the Single Sky.

2. The Provision of Air Navigation Services.

3. The Organization and Use of Airspace.

4. The Interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management Network.

EUROCONTROL has considerable expertise and experience which will be applied to help make the Single European Sky become reality.
